Chewing Like A Pigeon

my mum recently borrowed this book. it's called the fat fallacy.

basically the summary of this book is that you are how you eat. if you eat like a pig, gorging away, then you would tend to become like a pig. im serious! peck your food like a pigeon and slim thou shall be.

to me its just gibberish nonsense. that was until i put on 3.5kg. all my life i have been gorging food like nothing. when i saw the scale about three days ago, I have only 0.5kg to go before i hit the big 50!!

this same thing has happened to me once when i was doing my internship. however, when i went back to college the stress level was equvalent to a workout session in the gym. i could never gain weight during my college years due to my hectic and stressful lifestyle.

now i am in a totally relaxing environment, food aplenty in every corner. this isnt good. i need to do something. im going to have to start exercising. not only to loose weight, but also to keep fit.

think if i tell this to myself 100x the extra pounds would go away???

*my brother has been totally supportive. he told me that the pounds i have gain = to the lightest weights that he lifts. and that is sOOoo heavy. damn. he also said that if i remain this way, my metabolism rate will decrease and i will morph into.....*sigh*
